I'm having an intermittent problem with my Mata Hari. Sometimes the ball will land in the saucer hole at the top and it just stops. The coil doesn't fire and the ball just sits there. If I open the glass and press down on the ball, the ball will kick out like it's supposed to. I tried adjusting the leaf switch but I'm still having the issue. It seems that when the switch is too close, the saucer will fire from vibrations at the top of the playfield. I've even seen the game reset a couple times when the ball gets stuck there although this is pretty rare. (I think it's happened twice). Is this just a matter of getting the switch adjusted properly or is there something else I should be looking at? Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just noticed this. Does this bottom leaf look upside down or is it supposed to be this way? It sure looks wrong to me. This game had several switches with leafs that appeared to be upside down. I fixed most of them.

Thanks. The issue appears to be the metal 'forks'. They were pushed down too low. I pushed them up from underneath and inward from the top. The issue appears to be fixed. I did have to tweak them a little to stop the ball from draining straight down the middle but I think I got it. Thanks everyone.
